4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Studs to Target on 9/15/16
Rich Hill doesn't have the easiest matchup, pitching on the road against Arizona, but he's been straight dealing lately for the Dodgers.

Johnny Cueto, P, San Francisco Giants

FanDuel Price: $9,600

As we just mentioned, our models are pretty high on Hill, but if the matchup against the Diamondbacks turns you off, Cueto is a decent option for his home clash with the St. Louis Cardinals.

The problem here is that the Cards have a pretty darn good lineup, too. Such is life on a short slate of games.

Something Cueto has going for him is he'll be throwing in a very pitcher-friendly environment. AT&T Park checks in 28th in park factor and last in home run factor. That could help offset the fact that St. Louis ranks second in homers (207) and fifth in wOBA (.329). While St. Louis has a potent lineup, they do boast the fourth-worst strikeout rate (24.2%) over the last 30 days.

Cueto has enjoyed pitching at his home park this year, holding hitters to a .266 wOBA in his outings in San Francisco. The environment coupled with Cueto's 51.2% ground-ball rate could help keep the Redbirds at bay.
